Techniques for maintaining image integrity in containerized applications

A system and method for maintaining image integrity in a containerized environment. Image layers of a software container are scanned for metadata. The metadata is indexed and contextual metadata is added. Execution of the containerized environment is monitored to detect new image layers being executed.

Using shared metadata to preserve logical associations between files when the files are physically stored in dynamically-determined cloud-based storage structures

Systems for accessing medical imagery from a cloud-based facility using a browser-like application. A first user (e.g., a physician) identifies a first plurality of medical digital information files that are organized in a first storage structure. The first user's requests a set of first digital information views of the identified medical digital information of the first storage structure wherein the plurality of first digital information views are described by a respective first set of logical view attributes that are associated with the files organized in the first storage structure. A second user (e.g., a second physician) requests a second plurality of digital information views of the first storage structure wherein the second plurality of digital information. The system sends the first digital information views to the first user, and sends the second digital information views to the second user.
